A diary based on my latest attempts to get a job; this time in Munich. I'm an engineering graduate (and chartered engineer) with more than 10 years' experience in IT. Over five of these years have been spent in team leading and project management roles both in the UK and abroad.

The question

"Are you a hands-on manager?"

This was included in the specification for a job I'm quite qualified to do.

So I sent the usual covering email but added, near the end, "And, yes, I am a hands-on project manger."

I then phoned him. But by then, he had already sent his quota of c.v.s, so he'll hold mine in reserve.
